Subject Matter: Me

Because I have nothing better to do.  I'm seriously siriusly one of two people in this building right now. YAYZ.

So my job is pretty darn boring.  I do nothing but scanning and answering phones all day, and the scanner needs a break (it's old).  That's why I'm just sitting here.  I mean, if I had my flash drive, at least I could write or something while the scanner cools off, but no dice.

But, in the hopes of making this post a little more interesting, I'm going to tell you a little about myself, personality-wise, and then maybe make a couple interesting points.  If I remember.

Okay, first of all, a question:  Have you read the Harry Potter books/seen the movies?  If yes, skip the next paragraph; if no, do not skip it.

STOP.  YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH THE CRIME OF NEVER READING HARRY POTTER.  YOU MUST DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GO AND READ THEM.  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME, WATCHING THE MOVIES IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE.  ONLY WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THAT WORLD MAY YOU RETURN TO THIS BLOG.  READY? SET? GO!

For those of you who have read the books (I'm going to leave out "seen the movies" from now on, because it gets annoying to type), you should all love Mrs. Weasley.  If you don't, I ask you to sit back and examine you life, your choices, and what might have gone wrong.  We good?  Okay then.

My point about Mrs. Weasley:  she is what is referred to as "everyone's Jewish mother" (warning: that's a TV Tropes link; if you decide to click it, bring a rope).  In my times of great boredom, I have gone wandering around teh Interwebz, looking for fun quizzes, and I have come up with plenty of Harry Potter personality tests.  Guess who I get every single time.  Have you been paying attention?  Then your answer should be Mrs. Weasley.

Truth be told, it fits.  At only seventeen, I am everyone's Jewish mother.  I bring my guy friends home and feed them.  I make sure my friends have done their homework.  I remind my best friend to eat.  I carry bandages, painkillers, antiseptic cream, and chocolate in my purse.  I teach, tutor, and guide.  I'm patient, and I listen to anyone and everyone with a problem.

Okay, interesting point time!  It ties in with what we were just talking about.  If you're here, you've obviously already read the Harry Potter books.  Have you read them a second time?  No?  Well, go ahead, then.  I'll wait.

Back?  Cool. So is your mind blown?  Seriously Siriusly.  J.K. Rowling is a genius.  Did you see those hints?  Did you get her subtleties?  Man, I wanna be just like her.  That's so awesome.  She seriously siriusly made my brain explode when I first reread The Philosopher's Stone after finishing Deathly Hallows.  I kid you not.  There was grey matter almost literally everywhere.

Also, I never get tired of that pun, and I promised to never spell the word correctly again.  Just so you know.

Back to personality!  When compared to an animal, I am a wolf, most likely pack alpha, though unwillingly.  (The thing about this one is that you can't just accept answers at face value; you must read descriptions and decide whether or not they fit you.)  I am loyal to friends and family, open and loving with those I know, but distrustful and aggressive towards outsiders and anyone who looks like they might harm my pack.  Though I prefer to stay in the background (shyness, you know), when I am placed in authority, as happens more often than not, I do well, and those who know me listen.

What else is there to say about me?  Not much, I think.  Not at this time, anyway.  I read and I write and I draw and I trace, I can write HTML coding and make animated movies, and I work part-time as a secretary.  I crack jokes and throw out playful insults that generally just make people laugh and occasionally tell me that I'm evil.

Interesting point #2:  Actually, it's more a warning.  Never give a hyperactive teenage insomniac something sugary/laced with caffine at two in the morning.  Unless, of course, you have a camera nearby and want to send something into America's Funniest Home Videos.  I really should have had a camera on me the other night.......
